Portuguese term or phrase: manacá
Insectos fatiavam o ar velozmente, zumbindo com seu timbre de baixo-barítono. Havia flores arroxeadas e brancas no manacá e outras de um rosa vibrante na moita rasteira de onze-horas que brotara, crescera e se espalhava por conta própria - flores delicadas que se abriam pela manhã e morriam junto com a tarde

Gracias de antemano.

manaco de la sierra
Explanation:
Arbusto del Brasil perteneciente al género Tibouchina, cuyas flores pasan del blanco inicial a un tono rosado/lila según van envejeciendo; de ahí que su nombre científico sea Tibouchina mutabilis.
Se la cononoce popularmente como Manacá-da-serra, jacatirão o flor-de-quaresma.
No encontré demasiadas referencias en español, ya que aparece casi siempre con el nombre científico.
